In the material Donald Trump’s illness may shorten the odds of losing the election Trump was admitted to the hospital on October 2 of this year after testing positive for Covid-19. It is not clear how sick he is and when he became infected.
However, it is clear that becoming a victim of a virus, the danger of which you have long underestimated (the day before the hospitalization, Trump said that «the end of the pandemic is near ”) is exactly what your campaign does not need. Your illness may not change the career, but simply extinguish it.
NBC / WSJ Poll After First Presidential Debate (but before Trump was diagnosed), showed Joe Biden ahead of Trump by 14 percentage points, down from eighth place before the debate. The Democratic candidate also leads 27 points among seniors, with whom Trump gained an eight percentage point advantage in 2016. In addition, Biden leads 25 points among suburban women and has a one point advantage among men over 50 years.
A post-diagnosis ABC poll found that 72% of voters, including 43% of Republicans, believe Trump did not take the risks of COVID-19 seriously and did not take adequate precautions.
His speech at the debate offered nothing to calm hesitant voters concerned about his character. And the coronavirus infection after months of mass events without masks and the ridicule of those wearing protective gear reinforces the impression that Trump is at least unceremonious about the disease that killed more than 200,000 Americans and infected the less than 7.5 million people in the UNITED STATES. It also allows voters to focus on the coronavirus rather than Biden’s age, left-wing protesters, or anything else that might change the dynamics of the campaign.
Biden, who tested negative, was in Michigan on Oct. 2 and will be in Florida on Oct. 5, addressing voters in struggling states. More than 3 million Americans have already voted. The elections will end in less than a month. Trump does not have enough time to change America’s mind, the newspaper said.
